Lucinda Ng- Photomosaics

A photomosaic is basically a picture compiled of many smaller pictures. It's usually done by dividing a large picture or photograph into lots of small sects and then replacing every sect with another picture or photography of the appropriate average color. It always seems to amaze me what the artist can put together and how the eye absorbs the picture/photograph as a whole, rather than every individual one. It really shows how important color can be in a piece of art; we often perceive like colors as similar things, like in the case of photomosaics but we also perceive like colors as very different things, for example a picture had both sea and sky in it. The simple repetition of color can have a huge effect to a picture.
